EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured print captures a rare moment of intense conflict between two Water Voles, Arvicola amphibius. The image, taken by W. J. Stokoe in the early 20th century, showcases the raw power and determination displayed by these fascinating creatures. The photograph is part of a private collection and was originally featured in the renowned book "Animal Life of the British Isles" by Edward Step. This publication, released in 1921, aimed to provide an insightful exploration into the diverse wildlife found across Great Britain. In this particular scene, set against a picturesque backdrop of lush greenery and flowing waterways, we witness an epic battle unfolding between these territorial rodents. With their sharp teeth bared and claws extended, they engage in a fierce confrontation that highlights their tenacity and survival instincts. Water Voles are native to Europe and play an important role within their ecosystems as key indicators of environmental health. Their presence signifies clean water sources and thriving habitats for various species. This stunning image not only offers us a glimpse into nature's untamed beauty but also serves as a reminder of the rich history and heritage associated with British wildlife. It encapsulates both the resilience of these animals and our ongoing fascination with them. As we admire this extraordinary snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate the intricate complexities that exist within our natural world while striving to protect it for future generations to cherish.
